I am sure this is something which most of you are aware but it is worth a re-cap given the simplicity
Square of numbers with Zero as the middle digit
Start with 100's
1.) 104 * 104 = 10816
How do we arrive at this without going through usual multiplication steps
1*1 = 1, 4* (1+1) = 08, 4*4 = 16
Append them together and you get 10816
Alternate way to get the answer (have explained why this is required for few other scenarios in 5 and 6)
1
08
16
--------
10816
2.) 107 * 107 = 11449
1*1 = 1, 7 * (1+1) = 14, 7*7 = 49
3.) 204 * 204
2*2 = 4, 4 *(2+2) = 16, 4*4 = 16
Answer = 41616
4.) 209 * 209
2*2 =4, 9*(2+2) = 36, 9 * 9 = 81
Answer - 43681
It becomes a bit tricky when the middle value exceeds 2 digits like in the examples below. But all that's required is to shift that by one place and add instead of concatenation
5) 906 * 906
9*9 = 81, 6*(9+9) = 108, 6*6 = 36
81
108
36
--------
820836
6) 809* 809
8*8 = 64, 9*(8+8) = 144, 9*9 = 81
64
144
81
---------
654481
Anyway, some patterns are meant to be broken somewhere but its all fun as far as Maths is concerned and especially Numbers :)
